Well, if I'm in a hurry I'll bite straight in and eat them in a couple of mouthsful, but to savour the great Cake of Jaffa properly, I swirl my tongue round and round the chocolate covering of the orangey bit, until it's all melted and licked off. Then I either nibble gently around the edges to get at the rest of the chocolate, then bite into the vestigal sponge topped with the orangey bit, or if I'm feeling adventurous, I slip my tongue around and beneath the edges of the orangey bit, carefully loosening it so that it eventually slips onto my tongue to be savoured as it melts. Then I return to the chocolatey base and bite gently at it, feeling the sponge give as my teeth close around it.
Did I mention I like Jaffa Cakes?
Cat's, that was downright pornographic! Needless to say, I'm definitely going to hunt down a jaffa cake whilst I'm in Britain next month. Not to mention candy: Britain has the best candy. My brother wants me to bring him back Bassett's Jelly Babies - no other brand will do.
Kewpie, thanks for the info! So eccles cakes are made in Manchester? That's why I was so drawn to the little puffy darlings

Sorry about that; I'd just been beta-reading another writer's smut for them and my mind was still somewhere orally-fixated.
Fudge. If you like sweets (or candy, as you lot say), you should try really good fudge when you come over here. Thornton's isn't bad but if you can get it, go for proper, crumbly Devon clotted cream fudge. *drools*
Oh, and if you're up North, try a Yorkshire Curd cheesecake from one of the decent chains of bakers shops, such as Fletchers, Skeltons or Cooplands.
God, I'm hungry.....

Only if you don't have a Jaffa Cake to hand and have to use a Jammy Dodger instead.

In France, you get weirdly flavoured ones. The cherry version isn't bad, actually.

I tried Orkney fudge when I was in Scotland, it was pure sugar (meaning I LOVED it). I also enjoyed the Cadbury Flake and something I believe was called Milky Stars, made in Ireland. Mmmmm...

They were little chocolate stars, as in separate pieces not a whole bar. Not ringing a bell? I got the name wrong then. I'll scrounge around on the Internet for 'em, see if I turn anything up.
EDIT: They are called Milky Way Magic Stars. Nothing like the Milky Way chocolate bars in America though, the chocolate is better in England IMHO.

You sure they weren't called "Lucky Stars"? I vaguely recall those from when my children were little.

I love Jaffa's and i eat them in a 'girlie' way....I nibble the edges and the sponge is first to go, i have to pop the rest in and just let the chocolate melt away till i am left with just the orange jelly. I do like the berry ones and the lemon and lime ones but the orange jaffa's are the best.
